Who we are supporting The NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) is responsible for providing secure and effective communications and information technology (IT) services to NATO's member countries and its partners. The agency was established in 2012 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The NCIA provides a wide range of services, including:
Cyber Security: The NCIA provides advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect NATO's communication networks and information systems against cyber threats.
Command and Control Systems: The NCIA develops and maintains the systems used by NATO's military commanders to plan and execute operations.
Satellite Communications: The NCIA provides satellite communications services to enable secure and reliable communications between NATO forces.
Electronic Warfare: The NCIA provides electronic warfare services to support NATO's mission to detect, deny, and defeat threats to its communication networks.
Information Management: The NCIA manages NATO's information technology infrastructure, including its databases, applications, and servers.
Overall, the NCIA plays a critical role in ensuring the security and effectiveness of NATO's communication and information technology capabilities. The program Assistance and Advisory Service (AAS) The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO's principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider. It provides, maintains and defends the NATO enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure to enable Allies to consult together under Article IV, and, when required, stand together in the face of attack under Article V. To provide these critical services, in the modern evolving dynamic environment the NCI Agency needs to build and maintain high performance-engaged workforce. The NCI Agency workforce strategically consists of three major categorise's: NATO International Civilians (NIC)'s, Military (Mil), and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC)'s. The IWCs are a critical part of the overall NCI Agency workforce and make up approximately 15 percent of the total workforce.
Introduction The NATO Intelligence Community requires a common and standardised Intel data visualisation portal that will incorporate existing INTEL Dashboards and INTEL & C2 data layers across the multi-domain NATO Intelligence enterprise. The future data Portal, Dashboards and bespoke visualisation tools will improve collaboration as all users will be able to see the same authoritative data views across the enterprise. Various Intelligence sub-functions will be provided with bespoke dashboards and tools, as needed, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Intelligence Requirement Management, Collection Management (IRM&CM) as well as exploitation and collation functions. The NATO Core GIS will provide the core technology for the activities described above. The NATO Core GIS is primarily based on COTS from Esri. Role Background The scope of this project is to enable and optimise the NATO Common Intelligence Picture using existing NATO capabilities, primarily the NATO Core GIS (Esri baseline). This will be accomplished, but not limited, by:
Assessing and documenting the current NATO Intelligence Enterprise (NIE) capabilities
Identifying operational data and system gaps of the NIE as well as areas for enhancements
Design and implementation of strategies and solutions to address identified NIE gaps
Test, validate and document NIE enhancements
Support creation of a single consolidated Intel data services access portal
Define, design access to NATO C2 information
Define, design access to Intel source data
Define, design functional GIS solutions for various JISR sub-functions as needed
Define, design and deliver relevant training elements
Role Duties and Responsibilities Support for the NATO Secure Common Multi Source Unified Intelligence Portal (Common Intelligence Picture) C4ISR (C2 dimension) Subject Matter expertise for the execution of the following tasks:
Support to define the current C4ISR (C2 dimension) systems and data landscape
Support identification of relevant C2 information services for JISR and Intelligence
Support NATO C2 data/system /architecture/interoperability assessments
Support integration of diverse C2 data from complex and disparate data pathways.
Run C2 data services related workshops in a defence context.
Provide knowledge and practical experience to improve C2 data workflows/interoperability.
Development and implementation of interoperability solutions for C2 data access, registration, documentation and visualisation to be utilised by INTEL operators.
